Chapter 505: 2-0!
The imbalance in jungle strength led to EDG's crushing defeat in this wave. The teamfight ended with VG trading 0 for 2, and the male gun took another kill, signaling his ascent.
What's worse is that Ai Luoli's jungle monsters were cleared again this round. Moreover, at the moment the teamfight ended, the male gun unexpectedly reached level six.
Miller's voice carried a hint of shock:
"My goodness, this male gun has already reached level six……"
"You have to know, it's only been six minutes or so; before the teamfight, both mid laners had just hit level six, and the top laner who didn't join the fight had also just reached level six."
"It's terrifying; I feel that after he clears this wave, he should be able to hit level seven, while Ai Luoli's jungle, having been cleared out, has nowhere to develop, so she'll likely stay around level three for a while."
"That's a level seven versus a level three……"
"That's too scary."
Miller sighed, speaking sympathetically:
"There's nothing to be done; EDG picked their own champions. Generally speaking, if you decide to make such a risky choice, you need to be prepared to bear the corresponding risks."
"Yeah, indeed you should have some risk preparation. But looking at it now…… uh…… EDG seems to have made no contingency plan at all."
"It collapsed too fast."
"There should still be a plan, it's just that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Mainly, nobody expected the opening to get killed by jungle monsters, and the luck was terribly bad—just as Jiao Shen invaded and caught this moment; with the give‑and‑take, in reality Ai Luoli's jungle collapsed completely from the first wave onward."
"I think it's not just luck."
Rita pondered for a moment, then said,
"Jiao Shen must have come prepared, after all the jungle difficulty of Blue Steel Shadow is no secret, and the fact that Blue Steel Shadow lost a lot of health during the level‑one teamfight is public information."
"I think Rita's analysis is correct."
They nodded and said,
"But Jiao Shen wasn't here to invade the red buff; he wanted to invade F6, but didn't see Blue Steel Shadow there, so he decided to place a ward over the wall to check, and ended up seeing that……"
"Pfft……"
Rita couldn't hold back her laughter, quickly covering her mouth:
"Sorry sorry, but it's indeed…… cough…… kind of funny……"
Miller glanced up at the big screen and sighed again.
Here it comes again, square jungle.
And this time it's a genuine square route……
In the screen, after the male gun cleared EDG's lower‑half jungle monsters, his health nearly fully recovered, and he began running upward with his gun.
But this time he didn't loop back to the river and then go through mid lane; instead he went straight through between EDG's middle first tower and middle second tower.
【Quick Draw】 plus precise path selection let him pass after taking only a single turret shot, leaving him still very healthy.
"Wow, Jiao Shen is way too arrogant—is there really no one who can stop him?"
"How to deal with him? It seems impossible to get away!"
Ai Luoli, who had just stepped out and hadn't yet descended from high ground, could only frantically ping, trying to get teammates to help protect her.
However, top laner Mouse had already been crushed by him; at this moment he was trembling under the tower, pressed down by Fu Lan Duo's crocodile, and since the crocodile can dive under the tower, Mouse could only hide inside the tower, dare not come out, let alone help Ai Luoli guard the jungle.
As for mid lane, Galio versus Twisted Fate is inherently a disadvantage—Easyhoon had bought two Doran's Blades, his basic attacks hurt a lot—he had died once in that earlier teamfight, suffering noticeable loss, and returning to mid lane to face Twisted Fate's disadvantage only made things worse, leaving him in a pushed‑lane state.
Furthermore, in that recent jungle skirmish Galio had used his ultimate, while Twisted Fate's ultimate was still held in hand; if Scout dared to leave mid lane, Twisted Fate could simply not follow immediately, because Twisted Fate's ultimate lands much faster than a teleport, allowing him to fly in after the jungle fight is sure to start.
By then, if EDG could still win, it would be fine—it would mean mid lane sacrificed himself for the team's benefit; but if they lost, it would truly be losing both wife and troops.
Moreover, judging by the current strength of both sides, losing is highly probable.
Under these circumstances, how could Scout dare to move?
As for bottom lane, it's true that EDG's duo has an advantage on lane, but bottom lane is a hundred‑thousand‑miles away from the upper‑half jungle—distant water can't put out a nearby fire. Meiko also can't easily leave lane, otherwise Zet would either be kicked out of the experience zone or be dove under tower.
In short, although Mouse's situation is dire, his teammates are all basically unable to look after themselves, with no spare hands to help him.
As for one‑on‑one, given Blue Steel Shadow's condition, even two of them couldn't beat this overfed male gun.
Thus, EDG's upper‑half jungle was once again completely swept clean by the male gun.
When the third wave of jungle monsters respawned, the male gun finally stopped coming to invade his jungle; he went to bottom lane, emerged from behind Caitlyn, threw a smoke grenade at her feet to block vision and force her to fire her net shot, then quickly drew his gun and fired a point‑blank shot.
"One shot, half health!!!"
Miller's eyes bulged out in shock.
Zet hastily flashed.
But the male gun didn't pursue; he used 【Destiny】 aimed at Caitlyn's flash landing point, then instantly followed up with his ultimate.
Boom!
The nearly full‑health level‑six Caitlyn who had just stepped out was drained of all her health.
"Three shots to take her down!!!"
"Ah?!"
"Is it really this terrifying?!"
"He's unstoppable—this male gun is truly unstoppable!"
Janna also couldn't escape, ultimately being killed under the tower.
A level‑eight male gun at nine minutes—no one can stand against him; gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas.
EDG finally realized what kind of monster they were facing, knowing this game held no hope whatsoever; morale plummeted, and their base was pushed down in under twenty‑five minutes.
"2‑0! Congratulations, VG!"
"Goodness, it's still less than an hour."
"At first I thought that if EDG could drag the game into the late stage, they might be able to exploit VG's lack of AP damage……"
"But the result was that VG never considered those things—even Twisted Fate built AD items, and they settled the fight in twenty‑four minutes!"
"It's terrifying, VG—simply absurdly strong!"
"From a hindsight perspective, EDG's idea of using the magic VG created to defeat VG is ultimately too immature; VG knows too well how to play Garen!"
"Yes, VG directly gave a standard answer for a system to counter Garen; to deal with such a cheesy lineup, you have to use a tool person to defeat a tool person!"

Faker ignored the full-screen barrage of comments, arms crossed, fell into contemplation over the frozen image of EDG's crystal exploding, his brow occasionally furrowing slightly.
He was thinking, it turns out one could still do it like this?
